The Rise of Skywalkwer brought me joy and entertainment. That's what movies are for are they not? I thoroughly enjoyed this film and was genuinely emotional and happy throughout its entirety. Well done JJ Abrams :)

That did not happen this time. In the context of Star Wars (books+movies) the story makes sense, less so in context of previous two movies. There are also some cringe moments, minor plot holes etc. However, this is definitely the best movie in the trilogy so I'm ready to overlook these minor problems. Sad part is that it's probably better to skip previous two movies (definitely Episode 8) completely and watch only this one and you would get a better experience.… Expand

The story of light and dark coalescing into one and snuffing out true evil once and for all is a captivating one, and the perfect way to finish off this story. Ben and Rey's story is brought full circle. Luke and Leia's story is, quite literally, brought full circle, bringing a proper end to the Skywalker lineage. While I don't appreciate all of the creative decisions in The Last Jedi, RoS helps bridge that appreciation for the whole franchise. It does justice to the characters and to the fans who don't go to the cinema to be challenged, but who go to love a good story and Star Wars. I have spoken.… Expand

Summer Blockbuster style popcorn flick. Fun experience and worth the cost of admission. Doesn't survive critical analysis very well and doesn't really justify the existence of this trilogy.

Episode 9 could have been 2 films, but I think Disney wanted to move on from this disaster of a trilogy (lack of planning & cohesive story ruined it from the beginning) so it packed it all in 2 1/2 hours! Overall, I was satisfied from where I was 2 years ago. If you're a Star Wars fan, go see it for yourself!

I'm more frustrated with the so-called "fans" of Star Wars ragging on it. Be honest to yourselves, no matter what they came up with you were going to hate on this movie. The last film (Last Jedi) proved to be so divisive that it was inevitable that this final installment would be met with mixed feelings.

All this being said, I had an absolute blast! I will openly admit I saw the glaring flaws and plot holes that were there (it's hard to miss some of them) but it never once stunted my enjoyment of this finale. I cannot wait to see it again and, even more, start from episode 1 and watch all the way through at home with my future children. This series did one thing right throughout its entire life: bring people together to watch a movie. There are few things as generally wonderful and powerful in this world as sharing that common bond with so many people.… Expand

For the duration of the film I was entertained. It did not destroy the franchise like the last movie, but it also didn't resurrect it from the failures of the last Jedi. Rectifying the problems of the last movie is a big ask, and not really possible but it is clear that some effort was made to ignore or quickly resolve issues caused by the last movie. I'm glad they didn't spend too much time on this, and tried to make an entertaining film instead. The visual effects were quite good. The plot was all over the place. People die, then come back to life, only to die again and then come back again and then die again to the point that death has no consequences. So it was pulpy nonsense with space ships and light sabres. Probably worth waiting for the Netflix release.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am a bit surprised.
Why? Because it isn't that bad I expected it to be.
It is still a mediocre movie, though the second best of the last 5 SW movies (Rogue One is the one that was better), but it can only lift it just above "A Phantom Menance", not higher which makes it one step over the middle marking (I'm counting Holliday Special and Ewok movies, too!)
Good things:
- Daisy Ridley learned to act above her mouth
- Ray is a bit more likable than in the other two movies (a little)
- At least they did not ruin one of the Characters of the original trilogy (Lando ... though he was nearly ruined in Solo)
- The Story was okay, not great, but okay. Especially if you count in, that it hat to made up for the mess "Last Jedi" left, so in a sentance: the dilettante Abrams hat to make up the crap he madde during SW VII and the crap the dilettante Rian Johnson made in SV VIII
- The new Characters were nice
- The Music was ... in the backgroud, which is okay after the bothersome Music in Solo
- They did not try to pack 2 hours of Spaceballs-humor in the first hour of the movie like they did in SW VIII, the humor in this movie was actually really great, nicely timed, not destroying any moment ... well placed!
- The "Ghost" is in the movie (Fans of Rebels now what I mean!)

Some bad things are there ... sadly
- The puppetplay was ... well, lets say: on the niveau of the seventies - The whole movie felt a little bit like a patch - I still think BB8 was a stupid Idea
- The new even smaller "cute Droid" is a stupid Idea too - Endor is a Forrest Moon!
- (According to the old and by many Fans loved Construction Schemes) Ray had to climb between 40 and 60 kilometers to reach the Throne room in the Death Star ... and by the positioning of the death star in the ocean the Throne room should haveeither been flooded and upside down or not existing anymore
- I actually hate that death doesn't mean anything anymore in Star Wars. First Leia in SW VIII and now Rey in this movie!
- The End was actually too much "Return of the Jedi", but okay, the Emperor tried the Death Star Thing twice and it did not work, why not try the "Corrupt the Young by killing their Friends" twice ...

All in all it is an okay movie, which did surprise me.
But in the long run ... for me, this is "Star Wars Legends" and I keep the old extended Universe as my personal canon ... I think it is time to take out my four bookshelfes of Star Wars novels and read them again, nearly all of them better than the last trilogy!… Expand

Not to mention, Rey, the ultimate Mary-sue, who’s only excuse for being as powerful as she is, is the fact that she is a Palpatine. Frankly, I can’t think of anything good about this movie other than the special effects and visuals. The acting is at best mediocre. I don’t blame J.J Abrams, he did the best he could with what he had to work with after the abysmal piece of **** that is Last Jedi. Oh wait... yes I can, there is one good thing about this waste of production. The fact that Rose, one of the useless, most meaningless characters in the entirety of Star Wars, more meaningless and worthless than even Jar Jar Binks, was REMOVED FROM THE MOVIE! Damn, at least Jar Jar served an actual purpose had an actual role and was pivotal to the plot of the prequels. Defending Naboo, and helping push Palpatine’s goal of consolidating the Senate and eventually naming himself Emperor. I’m actually glad true Star Wars fans attacked her character’s actress the way they did, she had no place in the Star Wars universe, literally **** her. Point being, I decided instead despite how awful this movie is, to give it a 5 out of 10 just for the sheer fact that of all the despicable things about this movie one good thing happened, and that was effectively writing Rose out of the movie by giving her the meaningless role her worthless character deserves.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought the movie cinematically was very breathtaking. Honestly JJ I knew wasn’t going to disappoint when it came to that. But the story line suffered a bit due to its servers degree of fan-service. To be expected at a quiet attempt to save the finalization of the trilogy, TROS seems to bounce all over the screen with new scenes picking up precedent before being able to process the current emotion which overcame us in the movie. If you’re a Star Wars fan you will love the character arcs/developments, as well as the featured characters in the movie. I highly suggest it compared to the weaker 8th installment to the Star Wars movies. A Star Wars fan will be screaming with childhish delight in the theatre.… Expand

It almost felt like they hadThe biggest problem with this film is that there is simply too much film. It's as though J J Abrams decided that this was the final chance to slam every Star Wars idea he could think of into a single episode. It almost felt like they had decided not only to tie up every loose end, but then spent a few brainstorming sessions to come up with some new loose ends just to tie them up again. This isn't helped by Abram's signature style of jamming as many action scenes, chases, smashes, fights, and smart-arse quips into every possible second.

Don't get me wrong, there's a great film in there. It's just swamped by a frantic slew of images and actions that never quite gives enough space to develop plot tension or let us care for the characters. A few bits of filmic surgery, such as amputating the unnecessary plot about finding a secret map across the stars, but first finding the secret dagger that will lead to the secret map, but first finding the secret space-ship in the forbidden desert that contains the clue to the dagger to the map... you get the idea. This wholly unnecessary opening sub-plot takes over an hour and destroys any sense of momentum that the film could have had. Once the film hits its stride, such as the magnificent clash between Rey and Kylo Ren on old imperial ruins in the middle of a violent ocean, it does really well. But by the time we get there, we're already exhausted from the non-stop action that doesn't seem to go anywhere much.

Some day, I think someone needs to sit Mr Abrams down and have a little chat about tight editing and superfluous plots.… Expand

The amount of twists and turns is almost too much to absorb in one viewing, but this expansive journey adds so much to the lore and heart of the saga. Not a perfect film by any means, but it’s answers for previous questions, spectacular battles, and overall wow factor really hit at home. The late Carrie Fisher also gets the send off she deserves in this film and I have to say I was holding the tears back. If you’re a Star Wars fan what are you waiting for? Go see it!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve been a rabid Star Wars fan all my life and I have to say that this movie was deeply satisfying. There were many surprises along the way that were not expected, especially the big twist of Rey being The Emperor’s granddaughter. I read a lot and listen to Podcasts on Star Wars and I never once heard anyone suggest THAT theory! It was all just a great way to tie it all up. On top of that, the visuals were amazing, there was good comedic moments, there were NO annoying characters dominating the story line, the score was sensational, there were plenty of geeky fan moments, the plants and overall atmospheres were awesome, the red storm troopers and ultimately the battle sequences in the air, in space, on land and with lightsabers were perfection. I will see this movie again and again just like I did in 1977! Oh, and I loved the fact that they revealed force healing in The Mandalorian on TV the day before this movie came out so there was a small connection to what we’ve all been following on the small screen. Amazing job Disney! I suggest that if anyone rates this movie in a negative way that you are not a true Star Wars fan and you just don’t get it. This is grand entertainment of the highest caliber. This is moviemaking, storytelling, artistry, technology, creativity, vision, and just plain old passion that Walt Disney would have been proud to put his name on. I’m sure his force ghost is standing close to all that made this movie and he’s giving two big thumbs up!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into this movie with an open mind and knowing that Rian Johnson had created quite the divide and that J.J. Abrams had a lot to close in just one film. First off, I left the movie theater with a smile. The movie was a balanced pace and always kept me engaged. I dont know why people are always complaining about this film. What did you expect when Abrams had to start from where he did? People also need to have an open mind when it comes to the story. For example: some fans are mad that it ruins Anakins legacy. Did it though? He brought peace and balance to the galaxy for a long time. How long did you think that balance would last? Forever? The film also had a nice array of cameos from several people like Wedge Antilles, john williams, and on and on. Movie critics who dont know anything about the Star Wars universe need to just shut up and not even review the films. Again, from where this film had to start off at, it did a very good job of bringing the series to a close and the fact that it brought respect and dignity back to lukes character and the lightsaber is more important than anything else.… Expand

I went to the theater with low expectations. To me, no director could stick the landing with such high stakes. Somehow though, both my friends and I left the theater satisfied. Abrams had a choice between upending norms to please criticsI went to the theater with low expectations. To me, no director could stick the landing with such high stakes. Somehow though, both my friends and I left the theater satisfied. Abrams had a choice between upending norms to please critics (muddling the clarity that a nine-film saga desperately needs) and pleasing fans with a solid film. I've read reviews calling this "fan-service," but how can this be a bad thing when the support of fans is what has made Star Wars financially and artistically independent from Hollywood for decades. Another criticism sure to surface is calling Rise of Skywalker "predictable" or "lacking in imagination." First, I outright dispute the claim of lack in imagination, since I don't think anyone could have predicted where parts of the film went in terms of special effects and Star Wars lore. The second concern - predictability - is somewhat more valid. However, my question is: what else could you expect from Star Wars? From the start, George Lucas' goal in Star Wars was to distill the common threads of every human mythology into a universal and optimistic space opera. That universality is the cause of Star Wars' worldwide success. Think Rise of Skywalker was predictable? Operas are predictable. Get over it. Now, if we can all respect a style of story telling that has existed as long as humans can remember, we can appreciate the film for its actual content. Instead of focusing on conventional plot like community college art professors stuck in the modernist era, we can see that Rise of Skywalker has nuanced themes of morality and historicism. The most obvious theme is a historicist analysis of how tradition intersects with action. With the prequels ending in the Revenge of the Sith and the original trilogy ending in the Return of the Jedi, it is clear that the Rise of Skywalker is a statement on how to proceed into the future. Essentially, the saga functions as a Hegelian dialectic. The conflict between the Jedi and Sith produces a synthesis: the rise of skywalker (purposefully lowercase). The Rise of Skywalker proposes that we can respect and receive support from our past (a respect clearly not understood by critics chiding Abrams for lack of originality), but create new traditions and ways of thinking. Behind this simple moral truth that will be grasped even by the children in the audience (the true audience of Star Wars from day one if critics could ever remember the innocence of childhood), is a complicated and self-reflexive postmodern masterpiece that tells us that, despite the fact that the democratization of art has necessitated its simplification to its most universal form, meaningful new ideas can be produced. In lighter matters, I felt that, despite being an all-consuming finale, Rise of Skywalker still managed to be the funniest of the sequels. It helped that Abrams avoided the forced gags that made Last Jedi nearly unwatchable. Moments like Ren's 4th wall breaking "ow" seemed to reach a little toward the humorous self awareness that my generation actually appreciates. Babu Frik might be my favorite part of the movie.… Expand

And in the final Palpatine remains the Only one sith and Rey the Only one jedi, so he rapreseted all sith but she rapresented all jedi and Rey won.
She didn't have Beverly really partents aso Luke and Leila are the Only Two person t'ha helped Rey like parents would do, so i think this Is the correct choose.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An incredible film that ties in perfectly with the lore of all the films. Just because we don’t see characters from older movies, doesn’t mean it doesn’t tie in to them. Themes and concepts dating back to RotS, were brought to the forefront in this film, and were tied in beautifully to the Story established in the sequel trilogy. Take the power over life for example. Ben solo proves that Love is the key to save the ones you care about from death, and gives his life to save Rey from death, thus succeeding where anakin failed. He finished what he started. And it shows why palpatine could never discover this secret, as he is incapable of love. This is just one of many things that tie all the films together. And overall, the story is thrilling, the score is amazing as usual, and justice is done to characters that were more or less neglected in the last Jedi.… Expand
